A quick definition of signum:

Term: signum

Definition: Signum is a Latin word that means a seal or a stamp. In Roman law, it was used to close a document to protect it from unauthorized access and forgery. It was also used at the end of a document to show that the person who sealed it recognized the written declaration as their own. Signum can also refer to an indication of something seen or perceived by the senses, such as a bloodstain on a murder suspect.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Signum is a Latin word that was used in Roman law. It means a sign or a seal. In written documents, signum was a stamp that was put on to close a document. This was done to protect the contents of the document from unauthorized people and to prevent forgery. Signum was also used at the end of a document to show that the person who put the seal on it recognized the written declaration as their own. Signum was also used as a seal of a witness who was present at the making of a document.

  • When a person signed a legal document, they would also put their signum on it to show that they recognized the contents of the document as their own.
  • If a person found a bloodstain on a murder suspect, that could be considered a signum or an indication that the suspect was involved in the crime.

These examples illustrate how signum was used in Roman law to indicate the authenticity of a document or to provide evidence in a legal case.

"Blueberry is normally the mature and smartest girl in the group. She is knowledgeable about almost everything. She spends so much time with books that she always knows exactly what others need, or where the specific topic they need will be located in her bookstore, Blueberry Books. She is a whole lot of knowledge and very well-mannered, which can confuse her friends since they struggle to understand her in some way. With her acute wit and flair for more than just average knowledge, Blueberry is a genius when it comes to organization, making plans, maps, and schedules, as long as it is not overly sophisticated." blueberry is autistic, confirmed

Nah, I don't use it to do my case law. Just the actual motion drafting.
For example, I was trying to get the right language in a Motion for Sanctions (tl;dr slip and fall case, defense counsel played nothing but games – IE never sending records despite it being mandatory to trcp, producing never before seen records DURING A DEPO) and just talked to ChatGPT about his behavior to provide background to help with the drafting for the procedural paragraph.
@NosyBeagle: just makes me think of vanillamace
